Whenever I post more than 1 blog entry a day (with any amount of time in between, and no restriction set to a posting frequency), the creation time freezes to the time of the first posting. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, I mean, I can enter the correct time manually, but it is a bit annoying.
I'm using Drupal 4.3.0 on a FreeBSD system, and for posting/browsing my website I'm using Opera 7.20.

creation versus modified
Personally, i feel it makes sense that the creation time freezes because that is the date the entry was created, not modified. What you're probably intersted in is the date an entry was updated or changed, and drupal tracks this. You can access that using $node->changed.
I'm creating a blog, not modifying it
Actually, it doesn't make sense to me that the creation time freezes. The date may be the same, but the time changes. I'm not talking about modifying blog entries, but about creating new ones.
An example:
New blog entry date & time show as: 11/10/2003 21:52
I enter the title, body, and submit. View the site, blog is there, nice.
An hour later I decide I want to create another entry, a new one.
I have disabled the posting frequency restrictions, but have played with those options too and it makes no difference.
With the second blog entry the date is of course still 11/10/2003 but the time should be 22:52 ... but instead reads 21:52 like with the previous posting.
Editing current blog.
Cilfa, if you are editing an existing blog entry this is a true statement. However, if you add more entries later in the day, they obtain the time and date stamp of the time you enter the new blog. At least that is my experience.
